The following examples assume that the client disks are partitioned as shown in Figure: Cross mount point example.
In Figure: Cross mount point example, the client contains /, /usr, and /home in separate partitions on disk d1. Another file system that is named /home/njr exists on disk d2 and is mounted on /home. In addition, disk d3 contains a directory named /net/freddie/home that is NFS-mounted on /net/freddie.
Assume that Cross mount points and Follow NFS are not selected. Assume that the backup selection list contains the following entries:
//usr/home
NetBackup considers only the directories and files that are in the same file system as the backup selection list entry it is processing. It does not back up /home/njr or /net/freddie/home.
Assume that Cross mount points and Follow NFS are selected. Assume that the backup selection list contains only /.
In this case, NetBackup backs up all the files and directories in the tree, including those under /home/njr and /net/freddie/home.
To back up only /usr and individual files under /, leave / out of the list and separately list the files and directories you want to include. For example:
/usr /individual_files_under_root
